Vikki Brown remembers when her animation professor asked if she was interested in working with scientists at Cal State Fullerton on black hole and gravitational wave research. “He said, ‘Are you into ...

This black hole merger animation was created using data collected by the LIGO and Virgo gravitational wave detectors, an observation designated GW190412. Credits: © N. Fischer, H. Pfeiffer, A.

On September 14, 2015, a signal arrived on Earth, carrying information about a pair of remote black holes that had spiraled ...

Curious about wave behavior and coastal protection? Discover how to construct a wave tank that allows you to explore sea wall effectiveness, simulate storms, and test ship designs. This can make for a ...

Schrödinger dynamics inspired novel wave physics explorations, including symmetry design, Floquet topology, adiabatic pumping, non-Hermitian dynamics, non-Abelian physics and nonlinear phenomena. In a ...

Protons can surf some truly gnarly waves. A new experiment suggests that the subatomic particles can be accelerated by a process akin to surfers catching waves. The protons get a speed boost not from ...

Three U.S. physicists won the Nobel Prize in Physics on Tuesday for their work that led to the detection of gravitational waves — the ripples in space-time made when black holes collide and when other ...
